He wont battle me unless its Doubles...

...and then Typhlosion'd

Battle with Xan:

5SYG-WWWW-WWW5-Z6EL

Pinsir scared the crap out of me...

Substitute also allows them a safe buffer to let them set up without taking too much damage, not to mention the fact that it blocks incoming status conditions which would otherwise cripple Klefki, especially if its Foul Play is only 50% as effective (burn still halves FP's damage even when its using the opponent's attack stat) or if its not doing anything while Asleep or once every four turns on average with Paralysis. If Klefki can keep a substitute up, it turns a potential 3H, 2H, or OHKO into a 5HKO with Leftovers. That's a pretty damn massive benefit.

Machamp without AssaultVest is outclassed by Conkeldurr, though... Machamp's main niche over Conk is 100% accurate Dynamicpunch, and most Klefki aren't going to be running Dazzling Gleam, anyway, and even if they did:

252+ Atk Machamp Dynamic Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Klefki: 138-163 (43.3 - 51.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

0 SpA Klefki Dazzling Gleam vs. 188 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Machamp: 110-132 (29.8 - 35.8%) -- 30.2% chance to 3HKO

0 SpA Klefki Dazzling Gleam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Machamp: 110-132 (28.6 - 34.3%) -- 2.1% chance to 3HKO

I just timed it and it takes me precisely 10:01:73 to take a shit. I am quite disappointed that I no longer have to luxury of being able to go afk to take a shit and be able to immediately resume the conversation upon my return, whereas before I had around 18 minutes to spare...

But if you did that, then it wouldn't be able to use ANY of the moves mentioned.

I believe he was walking about Machamp, not Klefki.

And Klefki is still vulnerable to high powered Fighting attacks such as Dynamic Punch. Machamp has a bit higher Sp Def than Def but I'm not sure anyone raised a Machamp for Sp Def and HP like I did.

Assuming Adamant with max attack investment, if you're using Assault Vest, 188 HP / 68 Def might be the best way to utilize his remaining EVs, otherwise a 252 HP / 4 Def spread is better.

152 HP, 252 Atk, 52 Def, 52 Speed could also work...

Dragon/Fairy Mega Latias deconfirmed.

Adaptability on Mega Latios deconfirmed.

Multiscale on Mega Latias deconfirmed.

I'm kinda disappoint.

You forgot to list Unaware, Fur Coat, Multiscale, Battle Armor, Soundproof, Water Absorb, Lightning Rod, Storm Drain, Marvel Scale, Thick Fat, Sturdy, Filter, Solid Rock, basically any ability that prevents or otherwise alters damage done to the opponent except for Intimidate.

And yes that includes Wonder Guard

Just made this to troll those wobbuffet haters.

Personally I prefer this one:

Its entirely luck based, just like Double Team/Minimize and OHKO moves, and yet those are banned....

food for thought.

Mega Absol can't switch in to it because Magic Coat doesn't activate until AFTER it Mega Evolves.

Espeon may block the strat but its still horribly weak to Foul Play, even with its attack stat at the minimum possible value.

And honestly, who's going to run Own Tempo specifically for SwagKey? You may as well argue for MegaLucario's unbanning due to Moltres...

at least its not PranksterSwagwave Klefki... with Infiltrator...

inb4HowIsThatEvenPossible

Yeah, as Can said, "Platinum" move tutors.

B2W2 as well, but still...

And I was about to challenge you to singles to test out a new team but you signed off before I could.

Oh, and in case you were wondering about that part with Stone Edge and HP Ice...

Maybe some people go afk without warning and come back to find themselves kicked, therefore unable to catch up on the conversation without asking somebody else what happened. Just a thought.

This. Happens way too frequently on my end, since I'm a multitasking kind of guy. 20 minutes, maybe even 15, would be fair enough but 10 is just WAY too short.

Added Zaibatsu since I just realized I never did

Taunt, DB, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Focus Blast generally gets the job done

Not to mention it rarely ever works. You have to be absolutely dead sure a person's going to use a non-damaging move and doesn't have infiltrator. Anything else will gnaw through Gengar's substitute.

Or it gnaws regular Gengar's substitute and then he hits back with a 100% accurate Disable, but that's not what Mega Gengar is used for...

And the world wept for noone

He's more of a joke character if anything, what with Final Gambit and all that :P

Needs more Sandstorm, Substitute, and Double-Edge in that case

Also, it's the same guy who did the Nazi Fuher screenpack, and those accounts have still not been merged! >:[

This... explains alot

Diancie looks really cute.

 

I'm now the proud owner of a Flygon and a Hydreigon. I need to come up with some good 6v6 teams to take advantage of my new mons.

Inb4 Rotom-Wash/Specs Hydreigon Voltturn core *shot*

Or Rotom-Heat, for that matter, especially if paired with MegaVenusaur.

Just tested my Doubles team against Noob:

DDBG-WWWW-WWW5-FSHB

I'm not regretting asking for that Cyndaquil now...

Diancie finally officially confirmed, 2 months after Smealum leaked it. Official confirmations for Volcanion, Hoopa, Mega Latios, and Mega Latias still M.I.A...
